Chapter 432: Chapter 211: Deviant Fire Acquired! Fame Spreads in the Dark World

They played chess as they waited.

"Don’t be anxious. Refining the Heart Fire can’t be rushed. It’ll likely take three to five days before there are any results."

Feng Wuji smiled.

"An ordinary person might need three to five days, but Chen Xuan’s willpower is incredibly resilient. I doubt it will take him that long."

Chu Shanhe said, "You could tell when he collected the Heart Fire—he wasn’t affected in the slightest."

"That’s true."

Feng Wuji grew thoughtful. "What is that kid’s mind made of? Even I was nearly affected, yet he was perfectly fine. Could it be he has some other rare treasure on him?"

"It’s very likely!"

Chu Shanhe gave a slight nod, then his voice turned grave. "However, Brother Feng, you’ve offended quite a few people this time. When that group left, most of them were full of resentment. Will Chen Xuan and I be able to return safely?"

He had been hiding in the shadows earlier and had seen the expressions on the faces of the three great families and the numerous other factions.

Some of them looked like they wanted to eat Feng Wuji alive.

"Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, you’ll definitely get back safely."

Feng Wuji smiled. "I’ll escort you back personally. How could that not be safe enough?"

"I’m afraid that still might not be safe enough."

Chu Shanhe’s expression was grave. "Are you confident you can completely suppress this shallow layer of darkness?"

"Well..."

Feng Wuji’s brow furrowed.

"What if they call upon some unbelievable beings? Can you stop them?"

Chu Shanhe pressed.

"They wouldn’t dare. If they did, my master would never stand by and do nothing."

Feng Wuji replied.

"But the problem is, Elder Gu hasn’t appeared in over a hundred years. How much longer will his reputation be a deterrent?"

Chu Shanhe sighed. "What if this incident becomes the catalyst? What then?"

"A catalyst?"

Feng Wuji’s eyes grew cold. "I know what you’re getting at. But don’t worry, I’m no pushover myself. Although I haven’t reached my master’s realm, I’m still confident I can handle a few taboo beings. And how many of those can that bunch of worthless trash possibly summon?"

"As long as you’re sure."

Chu Shanhe nodded again. "If you’re confident, that’s what matters. Still, I feel it would be safer to return to the world of the living as soon as possible!"

"Don’t worry. The moment Chen Xuan is ready, I’ll send you on your way!"

Feng Wuji chuckled.

Just then,

the two of them felt something at the same time. They whipped their heads around, looking toward the private chamber.

The intangible, scorching heat that had just filled the air now receded like the tide, vanishing completely.

"He did it?"

They exchanged a look.

’He’s even faster than we imagined!’

In a flicker of light and shadow,

Chen Xuan appeared in the courtyard.

"Senior. Alliance Leader."

Chen Xuan stood tall in a purple robe. His face was fair, and with his flowing black hair, he was as radiant as jade—exceptionally handsome.

"What a dashing, handsome young man! Seeing you like this, even I can’t help but be moved!"

Feng Wuji teased with a laugh.

"You jest, Senior!"

Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Chen Xuan, are you all right?"

Chu Shanhe asked.

"More or less," Chen Xuan said with a smile. "It shouldn’t be a problem to use it now."

"Good. In that case, let’s prepare to head back. We’ve been here for some time; we shouldn’t impose on you any longer."

Chu Shanhe said with a laugh.

"Let’s go. I’ll see you out personally! The outside world must be in an uproar by now. Young Friend Chen’s name is sure to spread far and wide."

Feng Wuji chuckled.

’Spread far and wide?’

A glint appeared in Chen Xuan’s eyes.

’If so, I wonder if it will unlock another talent.’

’The further I progress, the harder they are to unlock.’

’But once they are unlocked, they’re always immensely powerful—SSS-rank, you could say.’

’The last one was Heaven and Earth, and the one before that was Unity of Heaven and Man.’

’I wonder what the next one will be.’

’But my gut tells me it won’t be anything simple.’

"Let’s go. Time to head back!"

Chu Shanhe called out.

The three of them set off immediately.

Things were just as Feng Wuji had predicted.

From the moment the major factions had departed the City Lord’s Mansion, all of Qianling City had been in a state of shock.

After all, no one had ever left so quickly in the past.

At the very least, it always took two days.

But this time?

The major powers competing for the position of City Lord had only just gone in. Not even an hour had passed before they were already leaving...

It was just too bizarre.

In their astonishment, people inevitably began to ask around.

And the moment they did, an uproar of pure shock erupted.

"HOLY SHIT! YAMA CHEN IS HERE! THE CITY LORD ACTUALLY INVITED YAMA CHEN!"

"Did Yama Chen go on a killing spree and wipe everyone out by himself?"

"No way, you mean the same Yama Chen who massacred everyone at the Dark Crossing?"

"What?"

"BIG NEWS! HUGE NEWS! YAMA CHEN HAS COME TO THE DARK WORLD!"

"YAMA CHEN APPEARED WITH A BLOOD-RED DEMON SLAYING ORDER!!"

It wasn’t just Qianling City that was in an uproar.

The news was also spreading like wildfire in every direction.

Everyone was utterly shocked.

This time, not only had all the heirs of the three great families been wiped out.

Even the experts they had invited had died tragically.

Crucially, many of the people they had invited came from extraordinary backgrounds.

Take Jiuxiao Mountain and the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, for example...

There were even people from the ancient villages of the wilds.

People from the ancient villages of the wilds, in particular, had never participated before, yet this time, they had been killed all the same.

Yama Chen was Yama Chen, after all.

He hadn’t shown them a shred of mercy.

The rumor was that he had crushed them on the spot, then swept them with true fire until not even bone fragments remained.

The sheer ruthlessness of his methods was shocking to even talk about.

But everyone knew the ancient villages of the wilds would have to swallow this loss.

Unless they could get their own deities to intervene personally!

Otherwise, they posed no threat to City Lord Feng. As long as he was around, any attempt at revenge was doomed to fail.

For a time, discussions like these erupted everywhere.
